Remembrance Day will always be special for our family and to all families who had family members & friends serve their countries so we can all have a safer world to live in. This photo is from 2007 of 4 generations of Watson's - most notably Richard Watson Sr. who started it all on Kabinakagami Lake after performing his heroic duties in World War 2. Since his passing in 2010 'Grampy', as he was known to most, will always be remembered. WATSON, F/O Richard Arthur (J88228) - Cr...oix de Guerre (France) - No.440 Squadron - Awarded as per AFRO 1619/45 dated 19 October 1945. Home in Oba, Ontario; enlisted in Ottawa, 29 October 1941. Trained at No.1 ITS (graduated 8 May 1942), No.10 EFTS (graduated 28 August 1942) and No.14 SFTS (graduated 18 December 1942). Photo UK-12708 shows him with torn parachute following his bailout from a Typhoon. Public Records Office Air 2/9645 has citation. This officer has completed a tour of operational duty during which he has taken part in many sorties against heavily defended ground targets. At Caen, on 18th July, 1944, his aircraft received a direct hit by anti-aircraft fire and exploded in mid-air. He was able to parachute safely to earth and found himself in the midst of a furious tank battle but he returned to our lines bringing back 139 prisoners with him. He has displayed great presence of mind and gallantry and has been an outstanding example to all those with whom he flies. WATSON, F/O Richard Arthur - (J88228) - Croix de Guerre 1940 with Palm (Belgium) - No.440 Squadron - Award effective 27 June 1947 as per London Gazette dated of that date and AFRO 403/47 of dated 25 July 1947. Public Records Office Air 2/9110 has recommended citation with statement he had flown 90 sorties, 94 operational hours. Drafted when he was Warrant Officer. During the period from D Day until the completion of his tour Warrant Officer Watson participated in many sorties during the liberation of France and Belgium. In July this officer was one of a flight which successfully attacked the heavily defended mortar positions near Lemesni Fremental, east of Caen. His aircraft was hit and blew up but he made a successful landing by parachute although machine-gunned by the enemy. He evaded capture and re-joined his unit within 48 hours. In August, when the German army was retreating across the Seine, Warrant Officer Watson made many attacks against barges and motor transport which were highly successful. Throughout the battle for the Ardennes he displayed unusual steadfastness and courage worthy of the highest praise. See more

Happy Halloween. Have a great weekend :)

Beautiful sunset on the drive home at the end of our 2020 season. Looking forward to 2021. #windypointlodge

Late last week a difficult decision was made and Richard & Rosalie had to say goodbye to Skylar. No matter where you were on Windy Point you could hear his 'baroo' as he was on the trail of rabbits. Rest in peace little guy.

We have some happy archery hunters today :) Congratulations Ron and Reg on your bull

Some nice mid-September fishing. Leaves just starting to change and cooler temperatures :)

Beautiful sunset tonight

Pilot didn't need much runway today ;)

Some nice eating size walleye biting :)

Happy National Dog Day :)

For those who have never seen the outgoing rapids at the north end of the lake. While the water is low now, these are very dangerous and all precautions were taken before filming. This is also just the 1st part of the rapids.

Another great family vacation. Really awesome having locals supporting area businesses :)

3 trees = 3 eagles

First cast of the day Allan Young from Young's General Store reeled in a nice 18 inch walleye. Junction Tackle Company jig tipped with a healthy minnow.

The perch are starting to bite :)

Great day for Matias off the dock - perch, pike and walleye :) Plus some nice ones out on the lake in the afternoon

Evan is a little jacked with this pike lol
